Copycat First Watch Quinoa Power Bowl

Features:
    Cuisine:

    I think you are really going to enjoy this protein-packed quinoa mixed with grilled chicken, lemon, feta, roasted tomatoes and shredded carrots. I, like many people, have been trying to eat healthier. Part of that has been substituting refined wheat flour with more whole grains like quinoa. I often brunch at First Watch, and decided to try one of their Quinoa Power Bowls, instead of going for the pancakes. I was pleasantly surprised at how fresh, hearty and satisfying the dish was, and the boost of energy stayed with me for hours without leaving me sluggish, as typical with sugar-laden pancakes. So, I decided to try to make this new dish a staple in my diet. The recipe is quite simple, and the dish is a complete meal all-in-one, so it takes the guess work out of what side dishes to prepare to ensure a balanced meal of protein, whole grains and fresh veggies.
